MY BLURB ABOUT AFFILIATE LINKS FOUND ON THIS SITE
Hey, this is Alice.
If you’ve been around on my blog, watched my videos or subscribed to my email list, you know I’m a strong believer in being totally transparent and up-front with you about how I make money online.
My #1 goal in everything that I publish is to help you. To help you become a better entrepreneur.
Along the way, outside of my own courses and tools, I’m going to introduce you to products and resources that will help maximize your experience. These may be physical products, virtual services, software, or anything else that I feel would help you achieve your goals.
Some of the links pointing to those resources are called “affiliate links.” Which means, if you click on the link and make a purchase from that vendor, based on my recommendation, I may earn a commission for that sale, future sales or recurring billings.
I only promote products and services that I’ve personally used I truly believe will benefit you.
In other words, if I haven’t tried it or used it myself and had a positive experience, I’m not going to promote it to you. So you can rest assure that anything I recommend is going to be the highest quality.
One other thing worth mentioning is that I am not given free products, services or tools in exchange for a review or promotion on my sites or to my subscribers. The only compensation I receive comes by way of an affiliate commission if you purchase it yourself.
Considering the massive amount of content I’ve published online, it’s a bit of a daunting task to go back and highlight every affiliate link. So moving forward, please assume that any links included in my content to 3rd party vendors, are affiliate links.
If you have any questions about this disclaimer or how I use affiliate links, please do not hesitate to contact me here: hello@projectaffiliatemastery.com
THE OFFICIAL DISCLOSURE
In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product.
In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links DigitalMarketingbyAJ.com are affiliate links of which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items.
What are affiliate links?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on DigitalMarketingbyAJ.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from DigitalMarketingbyAJ.com). Amazon and/or other companies pay DigitalMarketingbyAJ.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link.
I use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
DigitalMarketingbyAJ.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links. Each of your purchases via our Amazon affiliation links supports our cause at no additional cost to you.
If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their “shopping cart” through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the blogger gets a small percentage of the sale. Amazon links are not “pay per click.” If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, I will get commission on that sale.
Anytime you see a link that looks like astore.com/… or amazon.com… it can be assumed that it is an Amazon affiliate link.
2. Product affiliate links.
These affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and buy the product, then the blogger gets a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links, as well. Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not “pay per click”, unless otherwise denoted.
What about sponsored content?
I do not write sponsored posts. I want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.
